2017 Ram 1500 key fob won't turn

I have a 2017 Ram 1500 that the key fob won't turn. Worked fine last night, but this morning nothing. Can't start the truck. Have tried wiggling it.Tried spare key fob, same thing. I can't tell if it's maybe not going in all the way, or if the mechanism is jammed. Is there an interlock with the PRND selector? I tried wiggling it too, but no help.

Any known issues with these things?

Try wiggling the steering wheel as well. No clue if there are any interloks there....

Get it towed to the dealer under your warranty.

Yes, will have to tow it. Just wondered if there is any known issues while I wait. Cold weather, likely a long wait for tow, and can't get to work.

Will the dealer give you a loaner while they have your brand new truck?
